I need to change all 4 tyres (19") on my X5 3.0D for the first time and wonder whether anyone has any informaed choices as to what's best and what's not. I have looked at Michelin (v. exp), Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental. Can anyone advise?

Dump the run-flats and get a better, quieter ride with more grip. You have a spare tyre anyway and they will be cheaper. You can also repair any punctures.

I got 4 brand new 20" tyres AND wheels for less than 4 19" run-flats.
